Hello!
Like mentioned above, I am an introvert (male btw): I hardly ever go to parties , I always find it hard to make friends, I'm not athletic, sometimes bullied (lol)... you get the point.
Anyways, so I was wondering between Colgate an St. Olaf, which one should I apply for ED1? Let's not talk about majors, what is your idea?
Here is why I'm considering these two (ofc assuming that I got in)
*Colgate:
-pros:
academics
good reputation
amazing fin aids
NY state (though this is not necesarily what I care about)
amazing internships possibilities
-cons:
I heard that nearly all guys there are athletic O_O Would I become alienated? O_O
Great reputation as a party school...!
Everybody is preppy
*St. Olaf:
-pros:
friendly people (this is the most important thing)
no greek life
great food
not being an athlete is not a big problem.
people are into music
great Math apartment!
-cons
not as great as Colgate in terms of reputation
no paid internships=>doing interns for fun lol.
the deadly winter (OMG!)
no placement services for graduates
ALSO, I HEARD THAT THE FIN AIDS DECREASE AFTER THE FRESHMAN YEAR ?!? IS THIS TRUE?
Sum: Overall, I'm really confused because while colgate does offer great academics and future career advantages, I really have to consider it's social scene. On the other hand, St. Olaf does not have a big reputation as Colgate, but I think I can fit into its stereotype.
What is your opinion?
Thank you!
